‘Transforming Drainage Design with AECOM’ using InfoDrainage + Civil 3D
As climate volatility and urban growth intensify, drainage systems are becoming a frontline resilience challenge. Across the UK and globally, heavier storms and expanding impermeable surfaces are overwhelming legacy sewer networks and increasing flood risk. These are a few reasons why regulation has been shifting toward more sustainable outcomes – and that’s why SuDS (Sustainable…

Predicting water demand by collaborating between InfoWater Pro + Civil 3D, via the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS
Predicting demand for water isn’t as simple as counting new construction units. It can become more difficult when two different professions do the forecasting, but the ArcGIS Online connection between InfoWater Pro and Civil 3D allows you to share the same data and approach. To show you how it works, we teamed up with Symetri…

InfoWorks ICM now integrates with Civil 3D, uniting designers with hydraulic modelers for flood analysis
Everything in the built environment progresses through the planning phase and design phase, before eventually being constructed and operated. In the planning phase, sites are scoped, drainage studies are completed, and hydraulic analyses are run to understand where and when capital improvements are needed. Powerful hydrologic modeling tools like InfoWorks ICM are vital to engineers…
